greg_r 81 Posted December 24, 2009 183 lookin' good. First shot is a tad overexposed but interesting - looks like the lume is pretty decent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted December 24, 2009 Not bad but the camera is capable of much better. Read about the macro setting, how to turn off the flash and how to set the white balance. Macro and no flash pretty much require the use of a tripod for good pictures. Also use the timer (3 seconds) for no camera movement. Then if you have Photoshop use the color correction or "quick fix" and Sharpen Mask to make the "pop". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted January 8, 2010 update: I still have not received the new gear and hands from sead.

I should hear from him in about 4 days, this is the time frame it is taking now........mary is looking better each passing day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted January 12, 2010 This is worse than Eurotimez lol Hope you can get it sorted in the end! I wouldn't hesitate in using Mary for every single transaction from now on - great communication, great delivery times, great QC and pics for approval, great prices - what more could you want?!

Exactly. Man got dead watch, shipped back, waited for an age, trashed his nervous system, got it back still with flaws, now waiting for parts... Why the hell use unreliable dealers, if we have a few perfect ones? Or "learn thru blood" is the best way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingle 57 Posted January 20, 2010 UPDATE: I still have not received my gear or hands from sead. The last PM from him was on Jan 9th. It was a reply to my question asking for the tracking # and what day he actually shipped the items. He stated "let me do little research". I have not heard from him since. I have fixed the hands and cleaned the gear thanks to Sconey's tutorial, so I really don't need them now. I guess it's the principle involved. Every geek around stated I would be taken care of by sead.................. I will not order from him again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will not order from him again. :( Sead has always been a little too 'cottage industry' for my tastes, which is why we didn't invite him over here. He's a fairly decent dealer, but there are others I'd buy from in preference. Sorry he didn't sort things out for you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
